Humans are sensitive creatures, easily overwhelmed by outside stimuli. Sometimes we dial into technology to the point that we fail to make emotional connections; other times, our own bouts of emotion keep us internalized and withdrawn. When incapacitated by other greater powers, we lose our ability to connect in the most important way.
By focusing on composition, the negative space becomes an active element, constricting, emphasizing, and often echoing the figure. My chosen medium of oil paints enables the more precise and rich use of color found in my paintings.
